    Pew Tor and Heckwood Tor Circular Walk

    The Pew Tor and Heckwood Tor Circular Walk is a fairly quick adventure near the western edge of Dartmoor National Park that will take you uphill across several tors for sweeping views of the surrounding area. Along the undulating trail, you will traverse the Feather, Heckwood, Pew, and Sampford tors, all of which offer a good sightline across the surrounding hills. This route does feature a small amount of uphill trekking; however, it is more than suitable for a fun family outing.
